And when great souls die
Ocean hums plangent hymn as it mourns
Cold breeze gently carries their ashes
Like scattered stars in the sky
One with the wind
Until they find their peace just below the horizon
Together with the sun where it sets
Giving us colorful sky to remember as they leave
And at first light
The sun rises with a breath of their legacy and name
While heavens may still cry for a little while
We'll sing endless elegies with the waves and tenuous clouds at night
For their true grave is in our hearts,
They'll forever be remembered with great admiration attached.
